Abstract

Medieval Arabic Historiography is concerned with social contexts and narrative structures of pre-modern Islamic historiography written in Arabic in seventh and thirteenth-century Syria and Eygpt. Taking up recent theoretical reflections on historical writing in the European Middle Ages, this extraordinary study combines approaches drawn from social sciences and literary studies, with a particular focus on two well-known texts: Abu Shama's The Book of the Two Gardens, and Ibn Wasil's The Dissipater of Anxieties. These texts describe events during the life.

Abstract

Après avoir passé dix années à étudier l'œuvre d'Ibn Khaldûn (considéré par les grands sociologues contemporains comme le précurseur de la sociologie moderne), Mohamed Saouli nous propose un essai d'interprétation et de traduction condensé de La Muqaddima et y apporte un éclairage nouveau et pertinent, loin des préjugés et contresens des traductions françaises et anglaises qui résultent de la hiérarchisation occidentale des civilisations et qui produisent ainsi une confusion dans la compréhension de l'ensemble de la théorie politique et sociale d'Ibn Khaldûn. Ce livre présente la vie au Maghreb au XIVe siècle : les différents métiers, les sciences, l'importance de la pédagogie dans l'enseignement, l'influence du climat sur le caractère des hommes, les moyens de subsistance, la spéculation. Il décrit la prise et la perte du pouvoir politique, les formes de gouvernement des populations rurale et urbaine. Il explique les causes et les raisons des institutions, l'origine des peuples et des dynasties, la guerre et l'art militaire, les pratiques sociales populaires (magie, mendicité, poésie et musique ...). Il énumère les raisons qui ont provoqué les changements des croyances religieuses et fait une analyse critique des grands événements historiques, politiques et militaires qui ont marqué l'Histoire.

Abstract

This study represents the continuation and in part the completion of a research study within an Islamic educational and philanthropic institution, currently located in Greek territory. Through repeated inspections and a long work of comparison, not only have the volumes kept at the institution of Kavála been catalogued, but the composition of the entire library has also been almost entirely reconstructed, identifying additional funds belonging to it. Furthermore, the research examines the implications useful for delineating both the cultural profile of the Institution and a particular historical phase for the methodological and content innovations introduced in the transmission of knowledge within the Islamic world.

Abstract

Pourquoi la vague révolutionnaire qu'ont connue les pays d'Islam depuis 1979 en Iran jusqu'aux années 2010 dans les pays arabes ne débouche-t-elle pas sur des démocraties « à l'occidentale », mais voit plutôt le pouvoir revenir soit à des partis islamistes, soit à des militaires, soit aux élites des régimes renversés ? Comment expliquer l'éphémère califat de Syrie et d'Irak ? Pour répondre à ces questions et comprendre les processus complexes à l'œuvre dans les pays d'Islam, il faut sortir du « présentisme » qu'affectionnent les politistes et plonger dans l'histoire : l'histoire politique des Empires modernes, ottoman, safavide et moghol à partir du XVe siècle, l'histoire économique des territoires, qui se sont ouverts au monde dans un cadre islamique et plus récemment à la globalisation, l'histoire sociale de populations diverses, pluri-ethniques et multi-confessionnelles, l'histoire intellectuelle de savants et de penseurs qui analysent leur monde en vue de le réformer. Des grands empires de l'époque moderne à la crise contemporaine des États-nations, cet ouvrage donne les clés pour comprendre l'histoire récente des pays d'Islam.

Abstract

This volume explores and calls into question certain commonly held assumptions about writing and technological advancement in the Islamic tradition. In particular, it challenges the idea that mechanical print naturally and inevitably displaces handwritten texts as well as the notion that the so-called transition from manuscript to print is unidirectional. Indeed, rather than distinct technologies that emerge in a progressive series (one naturally following the other), they frequently co-exist in complex and complementary relationships relationships we are only now starting to recognize and explore.00The book brings together essays by internationally recognized scholars from an array of disciplines (including philology, linguistics, religious studies, history, anthropology, and typography) whose work focuses on the written word channeled through various media as a social and cultural phenomenon within the Islamic tradition. These essays promote systematic approaches to the study of Islamic writing cultures writ large, in an effort to further our understanding of the social, cultural and intellectual relationships between manuscripts, printed texts and the people who use and create them.
